Warwick Castle has cut ticket prices by nearly half in its second flash sale this summer.

Following an earlier promotion in July, bosses at the attraction have unveiled another 'sizzling hot summer deal' and it's not available for very long.

The offer runs on the Warwick Castle website from midday on Tuesday, August 21, until midday on Thursday, August 23.

It means you can save a whopping 48 per cent on day tickets to Warwick Castle booked during that window.

During the flash sale, tickets will be priced from just £14.55 per person (castle only) or from £20.55 per person (castle and dungeon) when booked online before noon on August 23.

When booking online there is an option to choose a day in advance such as sometime over the August Bank Holiday weekend - ideal if you're thinking of things to do over the three-day break.

Castle bosses are promising an "ultimate family day out" including spectacular birds of prey and bowman shows, inspiring attractions such as the Time Tower and the acclaimed horseback heroics of summer show Wars of the Roses Live.

Events include Flight of The Eagles, the Bowman Show with the castle's resident archer and chance to see the trebuchet - a giant catapult that's the largest siege machine in the world - in action twice a day.

Visitors can also explore the Horrible Histories Maze, the Time Tower, Princess Tower, Castle Dungeon, Kingmaker and 64 acres of landscaped gardens.

Every weekend during the summer holidays is Wars of The Roses Live, an action-packed show to take you back to 1455 with battles involving stunt riding, jousting and state of the art special effects.

Further rebuilding in later centuries transformed the castle, adding towers and - during the English Civil War - defensive measures. A State Dining Room was added in the 18th century, hosting many distinguished guests including Queen Victoria.

By 1800, the exterior of the castle looked much as we see it today.

It’s now ranked among the UK’s top tourism hotspots and is regarded as the best castle in Britain.
